knowledge of spiritual things. They have records of
the lives of all the Initiates. But this is not the only work
of the Adepts. For much briefer periods of time they send
a messenger to try to transmit teachings to the world.”
1 Nirvana is a state of absolute existence and consciousness that one who
achieves a high degree of perfection and holiness enters during one's lifetime.
